This inspires me to reread The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, which I've always viewed as one of his poorest stories. But I see from the richness of the imagery here that I may have dismissed the story too easily. I don't remember the two-headed, walking-mountain abominations. They're incredible and terrifying! Thank you for posting these images. Your passion for Lovecraft shows through your work, and in paying homage to him you are often at your best. Any chance we will ever see the sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth illustrated by PVS?

vonrex7First, thanks for the kind words! That story was never one of my favorites but it is very rich with imagery and does in fact have a very poignant and satisfying conclusion for me. "Fungi" is a great idea for when I have a block of time. We shall see!Again, thanks very much.
